This hybrid event is organised in collaboration with the International Tax and Investment Center, an independent, nonprofit research and education organsation, based in Washington, D.C.
Water security is a key challenge for the more than 82 million people living in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Unequal water distribution, infrastructure problems, the legacy of Soviet-era water management systems and other issues have heightened competition over water resources in Central Asia.
These challenges are further exacerbated by climate change and population growth, threatening agricultural production and food security, energy generation, and overall socio-economic development across Central Asia. What can Europe and the international community do to address these challenges?
